‘God forbids killing of innocents’ …scholars denounce Iraq massacre
By: Sultan Ahmed
DUBAI: Eighty Shia-Sunni Muslim, Arab and non-Arab clerics and
religious scholars on Thursday denounced violence in Iraq and said the
killing of any innocent person was taboo.
In a statement in English released in the United Arab Emirates, they
said: "God has forbidden the killing of innocents whether they be
Muslim, Christian or otherwise. All who take life without legitimate
justification commit a major crime and an atrocity before God."
"All blood that is spilt as a result of religious edicts that advocate
excommunication is considered a criminal act of murder," the statement
said. "The killing of innocents, the destruction of mosques, places of
worship, homes, and the desecration of the dead in Iraq and elsewhere
violate that which is sacred," the signatories said, adding that "all
Muslim schools of thought and denominations" disavow the perpetrators
of such acts.

"Knowledge is
better than wealth because it protects you while you have to
guard wealth. it decreases if you keep on spending it but the
more you make use of knowledge ,the more it increases . what you
get through wealth disappears as soon as wealth disappears but
what you achieve through knowledge will remain even after you."MORE
